From David Adjmi, the virtuosic playwright dubbed one of the "best and most original theatre artists of a generation" by Vogue, come a wholly original one-woman show. Elective Affinities takes the audience into the apartment of Alice, a witty octogenarian offering a funny and savage portrait of cultured life, promising to initiate a vital discourse about what it means to be civilized.
